Will this English test apply to Union Representatives as well?

If so, I can forsee a resignation coming soon.

I gathered that, but my point was that if the LA managed to get into this position in the first place then it undermines your assertion that they know best, irrespective of the fact that it's now doing something about it.



Well I would have a quick look back up the thread, because you quoted all of JD's statement, and applauded the whole quote.

In any case, I don't think you can seperate what JD said with regard to sweeping things under the carpet from his more general crticisms of councils - the particular sentence that you're referring to said:

At least Birmingham are not sweeping the issue under the table as some councils might but in reality it should never have got this far

Faint praise indeed!



Well you seem to do a pretty good line in criticising councils, thus I think it's fair to say that you consider that councils don't always know best?



My purpose was to underline that you seem to be all at sea with this, which seems fairly obvious, but on the other hand each time you contradict yourself then it's worth pointing out.

It does nothing of the sort.

Indeed it reaffirms a point that the LA can adapt to changing circumstances.



I was referring to this bit At least Birmingham are not sweeping the issue under the table as some councils



Is it the councils or the LO's advising them? or indeed the legal departments?



I tend to disagree, I think your trying to score points.

So MrT and Captain do you or would you hire a vehicle,use a driver whose english is sub standard
in London we hear reports of the top test being corrupted by the use of interprators.Of course the test in London is incestious.We took the position,give them enough rope!.

The captain only uses real London Taxi's when in the capital, not Minicabs.

Vintage ones at that!

Well that's a good way of saying that they can change their mind when they've realised they've cocked up - I think that's what's called spin.




OK, so you can't use the quote function properly, but that's not my fault.

But even in the small part that you now quote you agree that some councils are sweeping the issue under the carpet - is that an example of councils knowing best?





Last time I looked these were all part of the council





Another example of spin - you're talking bullocks, and I'm pointing this out - that's how I'd characterise it

Yes it is.



Your changing tact, is this an example of you doing your own spin?



And your point scoring
